Hello,

"Please let us know if the date and time [is/are] convenient [to/for] you."

In the above sentence, should "date and time" be considered singular or plural?

And which preposition is appropriate here? I have seen both "to" and "for" used after "convenient". Are they both acceptable?

Thank you,

Nawee

Hi Nawee,

Try:

"Please let us know if this date and time is convenient for you."

"Date and time" is considered a single calendar event. The appointment is "for" the convenience of the client.
